Link building acts as the backbone of SEO operations that helps in bringing quality web traffic to any website. In today’s competitive market with millions of websites trying to get ranked high in search engines, link building is not just an indulgence for a website, it’s an absolute necessity.
Search Engines learn about websites through incoming links. An incoming link from a very busy website might bring dozens or hundreds of visitors in a day. When a website receives links from related websites (websites of similar interests), it also brings traffic.
There are three factors of incoming links that search engines consider for ranking calculations:
● Quantity
● Relevance
● strength
Let’s take a quick look at each of these 3 factors.
Quantity: Too many links too fast with not enough variety. We can get it out of the way quickly. We are simply talking about the overall number of incoming links pointing to a particular website. This is sometimes known as the Link Popularity of a website.
Relevance: Relevance relates to how much the search engine thinks a particular website linking to yours is somehow similar to, or on the same theme as your own. For example, a website about “Insurance” would not be very relevant to a website about “Construction”, so a link from the “Insurance” website to the “Construction” website would score very poorly for relevance. On the other hand, a general website about “Architecture” would be considered relevant, and consequently a link from that website to “Construction” website would score very well on the relevance scale.
Strength: The Strength of an incoming link basically depends on the relevance and quantity of links pointing to the website providing that incoming link. In Google’s case, the overall strength of a webpage is known as its PageRank. That is a special Google term.
Search engines give more importance to incoming links when deciding what pages their automated robots will visit. If you don’t have any incoming links, a search engine will assume that it is a page with little or no value and you are not going to rank well anyway .
So, more incoming links = more traffic, and quicker and better search engine rankings. The more incoming links pointing to your website, the more your link popularity increases considering the quantity, relevance and strength of incoming links.
Of course, the more relevant an incoming link, the more credible your website appears.
